i'm trying to backup the dovecot Maildir files over a cifs share.
source is a debian build, share is a readynas. i've been getting rsync: mkstemp 'filename goes here' failed: Not a directory (20) errors. rsync is v3.0. i believe this is related to the dovecot file naming convention that includes characters such as ':' in the filename. anyone else seeing similar behavior? a workaround? i can go to different backup strategies, but rsync is cheap and effective for my needs. thanks,
The problem I encountered with cifs is that could not be compatible with unix permissions and sometimes also fails setting directory date/time
When I backup on cifs either I use rsync and disable those features or I tar-gzip each mailbox and copy it.
Ciao, luigi
